Need help in finding the right app to use for your students? APPitic is a great resource for you to use. Apple Distinguished Educators created this site, & it allows you to browse for apps by, SPED/Autism, Preschool, themes (curricular areas), Multiple Intelligences, Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy, NETS (ISTE’s National Education Technology Standards), for teachers, & tools. Most categories are then refined to smaller categories to search. Since you can look for apps in Multiple Intelligences, Bloom’s Taxonomy, & NETS, it helps in finding apps that encourage higher orders of thinking. Each review over the 1,300 apps listed, gives a thorough description, devices supported, & a price for the app.
This one is nice because they have reviews of some of the apps as well.
Let's Get APP-y
Have a little free time on your hands to test out some new apps for your Apple or Android devices? Overwhelmed with all of the choices out there? A few recommended, educationally-minded app review sites:
If you are a member of the 'cult of Apple' check out their featured App of the Week on the App Store. Starbucks offers free downloads via cards found in-store (usually near the stir sticks and sugar packets) – music, books, apps, & shows.
Each day the website posts apps that have gone free in the area of education for a limited time period. Most of the apps seem to be geared toward Pre-K & Elementary school but there are links at the bottom of the home page for Top apps for older kids. Apps are divided into lists for subject area & age, & they also provide reviews for the apps they have listed. This is an awesome website for teachers & parents alike! You can enter your email to have each day’s free apps delivered to your inbox.
